Kailash Parbat.

After a couple of long tiring days and a lot of hassle with our hotel ( maybe another post ) we could finally relax a bit. A splendid dinner at Kailash Parbat on the Colaba Causeway, Mumbai and all for the princely sum of £3.80 for both of us which included a bottle of water, two lassi and two ice creams!


And for teeth cleaning and breath duties after, some fennel seeds, sugar crystals and toothpicks.

Gear list.

Rather nerdy and boring to most, but a list of everything we are taking and whether it will do us for a year or so! Ulli's list will obviously include various ladies items and so will not be shown here due to lack of space :)
